Here are some simple, gluten-free and egg-free cookies that take minutes to whip up, with no fancy ingredients. They are naturally sweetened with stevia and a bit of real honey. The texture is very chewy and chock full of crunchy, toasted nuts.

Preparation:
Melt butter. Stir together all ingredients except almond flour and pecans. Fold in almond flour until a smooth dough forms, then add nuts until dispersed throughout dough. Shape into flat cookie rounds on parchment paper. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until slightly browned around the edges. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from parchment.

~5.4g net carbs per 1/8 of a recipe, 4.3g per 1/10th, and 3.5 per 1/12th

-in the oven now ..FYI - even the dough is good :blush: I added 2 Tbsp. dried cranberries..I know...not LC but I've been craving a good cookie w/ cranberries and this is WAYYYYYY better option than the white chocolate/cranberry macadamia nut ones that I want!!!!

[COLOR=black]My kids couldn't wait for them to get done. We stole one off the baking sheet one minute early Mine were a bit crumbly while hot but I'm sure they'll harden as they cool. The ingredient amount was perfect![/COLOR]

Oh - my subs were splenda rather than stevia, SF honey rather then raw honey, but that's it. I know it goes against the concept of natural eating but I had to make do with what I had at the moment. Looking forward to a more natural new year!

Dh even liked these - and he's not a pecan fan. I took a nap this afternoon and I woke up eager to enjoy a cookie...well...they were gone! It's ok. I was able to eat 2 & 1/2. There are 5 of us so a dozen is just perfect! They were crispy & chewy (if that makes any sense ) and a wonderful sweet taste from the SF honey

Cylde, cranberries are a great idea for these cookies! Those are actually toasted pecans in there. The nuts turn a rich mahogany when roasted.

Bobo, thank you! I look forward to all of your recipe posts.

Christina, I'll be working on the cookie bars when I get my E tomorrow or the day after that! Thanks for the reminder. What cookies are you making for Christmas?

SnowWhite, I'm glad the sf honey worked in these! Have always wondered about that stuff. I'll admit to sneaking a square of Lindt white chocolate into one of these cookies. Shhh! Better hide some cookies from your kids next time.

Pam, these do not taste like pecan sandies. They taste sort of like candy with the way the honey sets up. Delicious but different!

SnowWhite, your additions sound so good! So glad your family like these LC treats.

Kevin, thanks for trying these with yacon and taking a photo. Good to know it works with that sweetener. It's funny with ovens. I made these cookies again and they were perfect after 20 minutes, but in my apartment oven they almost burn at 13! So strange. Maybe yacon is more watery than honey?
